Chivas USA Chosen For SuperLiga 2010

Major League Soccer and the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF)
today unveiled the dates and venues for the 2010 edition of SuperLiga.
The fourth installment of the tournament – which features top U.S. and Mexican
soccer clubs and awards the winner with one of the biggest purses in the region
– will begin Wednesday, July 14, just three days following the conclusion of
this summer’s FIFA World Cup.

The first round of the 2010 edition will be staged in an eight day
span that will include doubleheader dates at Toyota Park in the Chicago
area (July 17) and Robertson Stadium in Houston, TX (July 18). Information for the semifinals and
final to be played in August will be announced once teams qualify.

Competitive
criteria determined which four teams would represent the United States in the
tournament. Based on their 2009 regular season record, the top four MLS teams
(who are not competing in the 2010-2011 CONCACAF Champions League) qualified
for SuperLiga 2010: Chicago Fire, Chivas USA, Houston Dynamo and New
England Revolution. The four invited Mexican clubs participating in
this edition of SuperLiga will be known later this spring, following the
conclusion of the current tournament.

In its
history, SuperLiga has crowned two Mexican champions (Pachuca, 2007 and Tigres,
2009) and one U.S. champion (New England Revolution, 2008). All three
championship games have been determined by penalty kicks. During the inaugural
edition of SuperLiga, CF Pachuca defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy at The Home
Depot Center in Carson, Calif. on Aug. 30, 2007. In 2008, the all-MLS
final saw the Revolution defeat the Houston Dynamo at Gillette Stadium in
Foxborough, Mass. In 2009, Tigres UANL of Mexico defeated the Chicago Fire in
front of a sell-out crowd at Toyota Park.

For ticket
information, fans are encouraged to contact the local MLS club. The entire
tournament will once again be broadcast live by TeleFutura in the United
States.

Groups
and schedule for SuperLiga 2010 will be announced in the spring.
